00:01Perez is in trouble here as Esteban Ocon next across the line goes sixth fastest.

00:07Nicolas Latifi goes fifth fastest.

00:09Now Lando Norris needs to get out of that bottom five and he does,

00:12but only just for Lando Norris and Sergio Perez is out of qualifying.

00:18Sebastian Vettel was trying to weave his way through

00:21and that is two Haases that have got in his way.

00:25That was close, that was terrible.

00:27That's a penalty coming Mazepin's way of no consolation to Sebastian Vettel

00:31who's down there in the bottom five out of qualifying on a fast lap

00:35whilst others were trying to build a gap.

00:42They were so slow with these guys on the pit lane.

00:44A disappointing start to the weekend for him after a pretty tough weekend in Spa.

00:50Nikita Mazepin is out of qualifying, that incident involving him

00:54and Sebastian Vettel is going to be investigated after the session.

00:57Schumacher's out as well.

00:59Head down.

01:01Oh!

01:02I was going to say he's very aggressive on the way in and he was.

01:06Too aggressive on the way in and all the anticipation that was building in that Williams garage.

01:12George Russell is out of qualifying.

01:15If you're not pushing, you're not trying.

01:17And he was definitely trying and he was definitely pushing.

01:20He's on the limit.

01:21It's going to happen at some point.

01:22Do you know what I mean?

01:23You can't have a perfect qualifying session every race.

01:28Oh!

01:29Oh!

01:30That's another Williams!

01:31And that is a bigger impact.

01:33And that's Niklas Satifri very much out of qualifying

01:36and that is another red flag.

01:38Are you okay?

01:39Are you okay?

01:40Are you okay?

01:41Yeah, I'm fine.

01:43He's out of qualifying as is Yuki Tsunoda, Lando Norris, Lance Stroll and George Russell

01:50because the session will not be resumed.

01:55We've seen with Max when the car's a little bit twitchy.

01:57He is super fast and I think we're going to see that right now.

02:00No Dutch driver has ever started higher than 14th for a Dutch Grand Prix.

02:04Max Verstappen in the one minute, eight seconds.

02:08And that has delighted the Dutch crowd here.

02:11He was a couple of tenths up on both Valtteri Bottas and Lewis Hamilton

02:15through the first sector.

02:17He was two tenths up on Valtteri Bottas through the middle sector.

02:20He was a tenth up on this man Lewis Hamilton through the middle sector,

02:24pushing Max Verstappen and maybe pushing Mercedes

02:27to places they just can't go here

02:29because Valtteri Bottas finishes three tenths behind Verstappen

02:32as we watch Hamilton coming off the banking at the final corner.

02:35Is he the man that can deny Verstappen pole? Not on this evidence.

02:38He's three and a bit tenths off Verstappen

02:40and he's behind his teammate Valtteri Bottas.

02:44Verstappen starts his final flying lap.

02:46Valtteri Bottas, Lewis Hamilton, Daniel Ricciardo

02:49are the three that haven't started their flying lap as yet.

02:52Hamilton might get caught by Leclerc going through the final corner

02:56as Verstappen continues on his way and takes that high line around the banking at Turn 3.

03:01A slingshot on the exit and out towards Turn 4 in the nice fast flowing S's section

03:07as we can watch Lewis Hamilton going around the banking.

03:09Leclerc finishes his lap, goes fourth fastest.

03:12Hamilton gets to the line with about eight seconds to spare.

03:15So it's going to be right down to the last gasps for Verstappen to see if he's got pole here.

03:21And he's going to have to be waiting a long time for the Mercedes to cross the line.

03:25Check the flag is out as Pierre Gasly goes fourth fastest, retakes that position on the second row.

03:30That is a super performance from him.

03:32Ferrari fifth and sixth, Esteban Ocon goes seventh fastest.

03:35Verstappen's going quicker through that middle sector.

03:38Roar of approval from the fans as they see that one.

03:40And they rise to acclaim Max Verstappen here as Giovinazzi goes seventh fastest.

03:45And that's a super qualified performance from him.

03:47Valtteri Bottas and Lewis Hamilton seem to be the only two that can deny

03:51Max Verstappen, who might yet go quicker than his provisional pole time.

03:55Guess what he does? Verstappen's on pole here in Zandvoort.

03:59There's the Mercedes of Bottas and Hamilton, who can try and deny him his first pole position in his home Grand Prix.

04:06Now on the banking we go with Valtteri Bottas, who knows what it's like in the junior formula to have success here.

04:12But at the moment Bottas can only make second place on the grid.

04:17Can Hamilton deny Max Verstappen? The two championship protagonists battling it and qualifying.

04:22Hamilton is alongside Max Verstappen on the front row for what will be the sixth time in 2021.

04:30But the celebrations here in Zandvoort for the home favourite, Max Verstappen.

04:35No one could deny him pole. And by three one hundredths of a second, he takes it over Hamilton.

04:40That is pole position, mate. Pole position, home Grand Prix. Really proud of you, nice job.

04:52Yes, guys, unbelievable. What a great car today. It was unbelievable. We're just flying. Thank you so much.

05:01The sixth pole in the last seven races for Max Verstappen sharing the front row with Hamilton for the sixth time in 2021.

05:13Wow. We've seen them battling in lap one. We've seen them coming together in lap one.

05:19We don't know how this race is going to pan out. The teams don't know because we haven't been to Zandvoort for 36 years.

05:25What we do know is the two fastest drivers on the grid and the two best drivers on the grid are going to be starting alongside each other.
